might sound daft but make sure the lock popper thingy that comes up the door card nr the window is straight not slightly twisted, that happend to one of mine as it was a stolen recovered and it rubbed just enough to stop it locking properly, opened fine,,
to cure it i took the card off and bent the rod till it ran straight, that cured it totally

I am almost sure that the BG has central locking motors on each of the passengers doors but only a switch on the drivers door which is operated by the key. This means that a remote central locking kit will not lock the drivers door as it does not have it's own locking motor.

I have checked the fuses and they are all fine.
So it must be the relay, but where is the relay placed ?

I will take the door cards off and have a look then. But I would still like to know where the central locking relay is placed in the car?

They're located inside the door, near to the latch thing. (I believe)

the solenoids are towards the back of the door, on a rod down from the lock. Follow the wiring and you'll find it easy enough ;)

An aftermarket remote central locking kit will work - use the control solenoid in the drivers door, and the rest in the others. I used a set on my RX7, and it worked a treat. The solenoids in the ebay kits are the same basic size as the mazda ones, it's an easy couple of hours work :D

Hi guys

I was welding some rust on my BG so I had disconnected the battery.

When I reconnected it, the central locking worked!

I guess the control unit rebooted or something.
